10,000 Years In A Cultivation Sect: I Obtained A Powerful Technique From The Start Novel - Chapter 378

When the people learned about the vastness of the world outside, many would want to witness for themselves. It was particularly when they got stronger, they would feel that their home world was too narrow. Hence, they would hope to go out, enhancing their knowledge and experience.

However, all of them knew the difficulty to maintain the stability of the Tianyuan Realm. Hence, nobody dared to voice out.

The Mountain Master Tian Yuan had felt it a long time ago.

“It’s not a long term solution to stay here all the time.” Mountain Master Tian Yuan said, “Brother, are you afraid that they would be targeted when they are out, right?”

Jiang Ming nodded. “We’ve many enemies. The Abyss, although dilapidated, and has only few experts, once they manage to seize opportunity, they would take on their attack. After all, I did kill many of their Venerates. And because almost all of the Taishang Sword Sect’s Venerates died in my hand, Tai Wuji and the other disciples of the sect must be hating me. Another one is the 10 ancient clans. Because I forcefully killed Shi Kuang that day, they may take their revenge whenever there’s any chance even though they’ve been hiding recently.”

“I can protect them if they remain in the Tianyuan Realm. If they were to go outside, I can’t do anything already! Besides, because of the special situation here, once the Tianyuan Realm is opened, we can no longer prevent it from being infiltrated from the outside. There will definitely be a lot of mess at that time.”

Jiang Ming voiced his concern.

“You are right!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan nodded. But he smiled as he said, “Brother, you’ve been worrying too much! Everyone has their own fate, just like the former Tianyuan World which was divided into the east, west, south, north and the sea. But what happened to the world eventually? All had collapsed except the Eastern Region. This is called life and also luck. You can protect them for some time, but can you protect them forever?”

“Moreover, the residents of Tianyuan Realm used to be commoners, who would die within 100 years. Yet many of them have become immortals, and it wouldn’t be too difficult for the rest to become one too!”

“It’s such a luxurious wish to become immortal but because of you, their life span has been lengthened a lot. This is already a great blessing, isn’t it? Those who are satisfied with their current situation would stay back to enjoy their wonderful life. But those with great ambition would leave eventually. Hence, why shall you lock the realm all the time? As for the mess after reopening, it’d be easy to deal with. You just need to set a rule whereby whoever leaves can never return!”

…

Mountain Master Tian Yuan gave a reasonable and well-rounded analysis, which shocked Jiang Ming.

“I always have a feeling that you seem to have persecutory delusion disorder.” Mountain Master Tian Yuan added, “Based on your power currently, who would dare to provoke you? Who would dare to confront our people? When you killed Shi Kuang, you’ve shown the world that you are protective of your people. Hence, if anyone was to attack, they’d definitely take into consideration the revenge from you.”

Jiang Ming gave a wry smile as he retorted, “I’m not having any persecutory delusions, I’m just being stable.”

“Ha!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan sneered, “Stable? How old are you? Look at me, I’m already millions of years old, and you’re being more stable than I do? No, you aren’t being stable but thoughtless.”

Jiang Ming was left speechless. He eventually let out a sigh. “Big brother, you’re right that everyone has their own fate. I’ve helped them to become immortals, and taken good care of them. When I open up the Tianyuan Realm, it’d be their fate if they were to go out. After all, I owe them nothing!”

“It’s best that you can have such a thought!” Mountain Master Tian Yuan guffawed. “In the past, I didn’t want to build a force just because I thought it’s troublesome. If you were to take in disciples, you’d have to train and take care of them. When they’re out, you’ll have to give them protective items and worry for them. If they were to be killed, you’ll have to take revenge for them. These are very troublesome, aren’t they? And that Kunpeng died because of his problematic son, didn’t he?”

“Big brother, you are just lazy!” Jiang Ming laughed.

“Aren’t you the same?”

“Yes, me too. Haha, I’m lazier than you do.”

The two guffawed.

Mountain Master Tian Yuan left. He didn’t return to his residence but directly flew out of the Tianyuan Realm, above the Tianyuan Sea.

Jiang Ming looked over. There were many palaces suspended mid-air. Each palace represented a Great Overarching Golden Immortal expert.

There was also a floating island. It was surrounded by flowing luminance, and had a rainbow hanging on it. That was the island built by many Great Overarching experts for the purpose of communication and trading.

Even Great Monarch Wan Lian was living on the Tianyuan Sea.

The Infinite Realm Auction House was still around, proving that Riyue Changfeng had yet to leave.

Jiang Ming stepped into the air, looking around before he spoke in a voice that could be spread throughout all corners of Tianyuan Realm. “From today onwards, Tianyuan Realm is open. Everyone of you can exit and enter the realm freely. However, if you were to go out, your life is your own responsibility!”

Jiang Ming returned to the balcony as soon as he finished speaking.

In fact, the Tianyuan Realm was not closed. It was merely because the outside world was too dangerous as soon as they descended to this world. Hence, no one dared to go out. Over time, It had become an unspoken rule. No one dared to go out without the decree of Jiang Ming.

Now that Jiang Ming had spoken, the unspoken rule had become ineffective.

Some immortals in various parts of the Tianyuan Realm were ecstatic when they heard Jiang Ming. After they bowed in the direction of Chuyang Peak, they started packing. Half way through, they hesitated.

They began contemplating whether they should go out. Tianyuan Realm was the safest sacred land for cultivation. Because they heard that it was the chaotic Infinite Realm Battlefield out there, they were wondering whether they would survive with their personal strength if they were to go out.

Those impulsive experts thought of this, and became indecisive.

Nevertheless, there were some experts who left eventually. After all, they were curious about the outside world, and hoped to witness the bigger world outside.

…

In the main hall of Taiyang Peak.

Sect Leader Yan Yan glanced at the direction of Chuyang Peak before he returned to the main hall, where the other First Seats were sitting. He said, “The Realm Master has voiced out. Hence, we need to make a change too. Shall we allow our disciples to go out as well?”

The Realm Master was the title given to Jiang Ming.

“Sect Master!” Dongfang Lie, the First Seat of Lieyang Peak was the first one who voiced out. “Others may not know about the dangers out there but we do. With our current strength, we’d mostly be killed if we were to go out. However, since the Realm Master has spoken, we can’t stop our disciples from going out. We can set some rules instead. What about taking the Mystical Immortal Realm as the minimum requirement? Only those who have achieved the Mystical Immortal Realm can choose to travel out there, tempering themselves.”

“Would the Mystical Immortal Realm be too low?” Hao Chen, the First Seat of Shaoyang Peak, frowned. “The current Tianyuan Sea is famous throughout the infinite realms. Hence, there are many experts, including spies who come here. Moreover, we seem to have a lot of enemies. If the weak were to go out, they could be killed easily. Just look at the Tianyuan Sea, how many Great Overarching Golden Immortals are there?”

“Yes, the weak would be killed if they were to go out!” Chang Ming, the First Seat of Laoyang Peak, nodded in agreement. “Tianyuan Realm is the sacred land of cultivation and has a lot of spaces conjured by various supreme Dao vessels for self tempering. If one is restless, and wants to go out, we shall throw them directly into the Reincarnation Tower for training!”

“This is too much!” The First Seat Dong Fanglie shook his head. “It’s our natural tendency to explore the wider world. I am even looking forward to it. We shall just set a limit, which can also be a motivator.”

All First Seats gave their own opinions.

“Junior Brother Gu, what do you think?” Sect Leader Yan Yan turned to Gu Hai.

“It’s simple!” Gu Hai smiled. “We shall just let whoever wishes to go out but we limit the region where they can go! The Tianyuan Sea itself is very huge, far bigger than our Tianyuan Realm, and even more than 100-times bigger than our former Tianyuan World. Hence, it’s bigger enough for them to explore and temper themselves. Moreover, because the Tianyuan Sea consists of experts from our human race, it is not dangerous. Since we can kill two birds with one stone, why not?”

“Alright, this would be our conclusion then!” Sect Master Yan Yan immediately made the decision.

As soon as the meeting had ended, Gu Hai couldn’t wait to return to Chuyang Peak.

“Old man, you still know how to come back!” Jiang Ming shouted from a distance.

“You brat, I’m the First Seat, the Peak Master, and your master. Are you not happy that I’m back?” As soon as Gu Hai landed on Chuyang Peak, he pushed Jiang Ming away so that he could lay on the rattan chair and sway leisurely. “Quick, serve me!”

Gu Hai was pointing at the teapot.

“Sure, please wait a moment.” Jiang Ming could do nothing else other than serving Gu Hai with tea.

Gu Hai took a sip and enjoyed the tea flavor. Then, he requested, “Ming, I’m hungry. You don’t have to cook a lot, just 108 dishes will do.”

Jiang Ming scratched his head. If Gu Hai wasn’t his master, he would have slapped him. But because Gu Hai was his master, and he as the disciple had to do what was requested.

“Alright, please wait for a while. You’re my master, after all!” Jiang Ming said helplessly.
